Pennsylvania Genius of the Day (Hurricane Edition): Woman jumps in creek to save ducks

York - Southern Regional Police arrested a reportedly intoxicated woman Monday during Hurricane Sandy after they said she jumped into the Codorus Creek to "save the wild ducks."

Because of the turbulent water, the 41-year-old needed to be rescued, placing several Glen Rock firefighters in danger, police said.

The Glen Rock woman, whose name has not been released yet, was evaluated at the scene and arrested on charges of risking a catastrophe, reckless endangerment, public drunkenness and disorderly conduct.

The woman told police she was worried that the 20 to 30 ducks that live in the area of Hanover Street near the fire department would be hurt or killed because of the rising flood waters.
